Mumbai: Amid speculation over ‘Sikandar’ being a remake of ‘Salaar’ or ‘Sarkar’, director AR Murugadoss has come out to clear the air.
The filmmaker issued a statement asserting that the action drama starring Salman Khan is an original story, and not a remake of any South film.
“This is a completely original story. Every scene, every frame of Sikandar has been designed and executed with authenticity, offering a fresh narrative and experience. It’s not a remake or adaptation of any existing film,” the director said.
“An essential part of the film’s originality is its stunning background score, crafted by the immensely talented Santosh Narayanan. His music perfectly complements the film’s energetic tone and vibrant visuals, adding an emotional depth that enhances every scene,” he added.
Murugadoss has directed Telugu films such as ‘Ghajini’, ‘Thuppakki,’ ‘Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty’ and ‘Sarkar.’
Bankrolled by Sajid Nadiadwala, ‘Sikandar’, featuring Salman and Rashmika, will hit theatres on Eid 2025. The film also features Kajal Aggarwal in a key role.
